Amora Mautner (born May 24, 1975) is a Brazilian television director and former actress. She has worked in many telenovelas and TV series broadcast by Rede Globo.

Biography

Mautner was born in Rio de Janeiro on May 24, 1975. She is the daughter of famous singer and writer Jorge Mautner and historian Ruth Mendes, and is of Austrian-Jewish and Yugoslav descent on her father's side. She initially debuted as an actress, portraying Paula in the 1991–92 telenovela Vamp, and also appeared in an episode of the TV series Você Decide, but later abandoned the acting career to become involved in directing.[1]

She debuted as assistant director in the first season of the long-running soap opera Malhação in 1995, but wouldn't direct her first telenovela until O Cravo e a Rosa from 2000. In 2012, Mautner and Ricardo Waddington (who would become one of her most frequent collaborators) won the Prêmio Contigo! de TV, in the category "Best Director", for Cordel Encantado. After her work in the successful Avenida Brasil (which won her yet another Prêmio Contigo! de TV for Best Director in 2013) and Joia Rara, she was promoted to Rede Globo's core director in 2014.[2]

On an interview to Época magazine from September 15, 2016, she stated that after she ended work on her most recent telenovela, A Regra do Jogo (2015–16), she took a temporary break from TV in order to begin work on her first full-length film, an adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novel The Gambler. It will enter pre-production in 2017, after she finds a screenwriter and an appropriate actor for the leading role, and shooting will begin in Argentina in 2018. She is slated to return to television in 2017 to direct two as-of-yet untitled telenovelas: one written by Manuela Dias and the other by Euclydes Marinho.[3]

Despite her success, Mautner is often criticized by the actors she has worked with and other acquaintances as being too "strict" and "perfectionist".[4][5]

Personal life

Mautner was married to actor Marcos Palmeira from 2005 to 2012.[6] The couple had a daughter, Júlia, born 2007.[7]

Since 2015 Mautner is dating Arnon Affonso, son of former Brazilian President Fernando Collor.[8]
